Three Phase Uncontrolled Rectifiers: Notes From MUR

This document discusses a three phase uncontrolled rectifier circuit. It contains a full-bridge rectifier with two groups of three diodes each to rectify the three phase input voltages. With an inductive load, the output current is constant DC and the average output voltage is 2/π times the line voltage. The RMS phase current is 2 times the output current and the displacement power factor is 1.0. The document also shows the input line current waveform and discusses current commutation in the circuit.

Three-Phase, Full-Bridge Rectifier: Input
Line-Current

• Assuming output current to be purely dc and zero ac-side inductance


•Notice that harmonics are higher order and lower magnitude than single phase
•General Rule of thumb for n-pulse rectification the dominant harmonics occur at n-1
and n+1
Three-Phase, Full-Bridge Rectifier

• Including the ac-side inductance


3-Phase Rectifier: Current Commutation

• output
current is
assumed to be

Other Topics
• 3 Phase Rectifier with capacitive Load
(Constant DC Voltage) – hard to analyse –
use PSPICE.
• Advantages of 3 Phase Rectifiers – See
MUR 5-7
• Danger of high inrush currents and over-
voltage at turn on (5-8)
